💪 Heavy-Duty Hooks – Panic & Bull Snaps

For high-stress environments or animal handling, we also offer Panic Hooks and Bull Snaps — extra-strong options built for strength and safety.

• Panic Hooks: Designed for emergency quick-release, even under tension. Commonly used in horse float ties or other livestock restraint systems. The release mechanism ensures the hook can be safely opened in a panic situation without needing to untie knots or unclip gates.
• Bull Snaps: Heavy-duty trigger snaps with a swivel eye. Known for their durability and secure latching, they’re ideal for horse leads, tie-downs, and any job requiring strong, long-lasting performance.

These heavy-duty options are essential for equine, farming, or industrial uses where strength and control matter most.

💬 Snap vs Trigger Hook – Which One Should I Choose?

✔ Choose Snap Hooks when you want quick connect/disconnect with moderate strength.
✔ Choose Trigger Hooks when you need a more secure hold or the load may jostle/move around (like in horse tack or marine use).
